Preface
This volume contains the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on
Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics held April 28–30, 2005 in Bordeaux, France. This proceedings contains papers on a wide range of logical and
formal methods in computational linguistics, with studies of particular grammar
formalisms (Categorial Grammars, TAG, Dependency Grammars or Minimalist
Grammars) and their computational properties (complexity, determinism, unification), language engineering (grammar development, parsing, translation) and
traditional questions about the syntax/semantics interface. Formal aspects are
moreover assessed with actual linguistic data from different languages (English,
French, Arabic), which is the sign of a maturing field.
This text, as well as the conference itself, is then the occasion to bring together people coming from different horizons: logicians, linguists, computational
scientists. This fits perfectly well with the mission of FoLLI, the Association of
Logic, Language and Information, and so this textbook inaugurates the new
FoLLI/LNAI series.
The Program Committee faced a difficult task because we received many
submissions (40% rejected), and the reviewing task had to be done quickly. We
thank all our reviewers and especially those who had to be recruited at the last
minute. We also thank very much the Organizing Committee. Bordeaux, known
as a wine capital, is now becoming a research center in this field.
We would like to thank all the people who made this 5th LACL possible: the
Program Committee, the external reviewers, the Organizing Committee, and
the LACL sponsors. Last, but not least, very special thanks to Christian Retoré
who has been, since the very beginning, the heart of LACL. This conference,
and these books, simply would not exist without him.
